Batting cages are fucking cool imo. Just let's you smack off some good balls. But I feel like we can do even BETTER

Maybe add targets and a scoring system? Option for a mean spirited catcher that laughs at you or says mean things if you miss? Have a guy in a hard to move but safe inflated suit that gathers the balls in the area?

I love top golf tbh. And I can't swing for shit nor do I have any interest in regular golf.

I wonder if there'd be a safety liability tho with food/alcohol and being in a batting cage. At least with top golf the ball isn't coming at you in varying speeds <__<

It's not a safety thing while axe throwing exists lol.

I feel like having a pitching machine would be a nightmare to get set up. Not just liability wise but actually having the machines set up and maintaining them.

You'd have to have it like T-Ball but you lose some of the fun in that and it doesn't translate to the actual sport.

But maybe if you had some corked bats with softer balls you could get something going

Here are my suggestions for reinventing the batting cage.

1. the batting cage needs to be louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine.

2. Whenever the batting cage isn't around, everyone should be asking "where's the batting cage?"

3.

Do you mean in a Top Baseball setting? Or in general?

Triple the speed of the ball thrower. Its 2022. Ball throwing tech should be able to whip those cheese balls at like 300mph.

I like the idea of setting up "scoring zones" to hit the ball to, honestly.

Basically, simulate spots on the field where like a line drive to this specific spot results in a high percentage of base hits or a pop fly to this specific spot results in a lot of doubles in a real game, so hitting the ball like that in the cage gives you extra points or something like that, then at the end of your session, tell you how effective your hits would have been had it been a real game scenario.

You're in the center of the cage and the ball can potentially be fired at you from the front, back, sides, or even above. You have to guess where it will come from.

Sometimes multiple balls will be fired at once.

If the machine hits you with a pitch, you should be able to charge an employee and beat the hell outta them.
